You can buy options and other high-returning investments in them though. In this case he bought 1.7 million shares of paypal in 1999 for $1700

Some of them are built on literal toxic sites, in particular, the Apple campus is. There are ongoing lawsuits about this, but I don't think it's widely covered

No, but that's mostly because nuclear powered cars aren't worth the effort and they'd weigh like 10 tons. Plus, fallout's nuclear cars only came about because of the resource shortage anyway, and you still had to "Gas" them with coolant which is why Red Rocket was a thing, so you didn't have unlimited range either.
They'll develop a way to charge cars through their tires on road surfaces before they put mini nukes on them. Fallout's culture was...not the most safety orientated as well.

They're probably a little confused as recent strong job numbers caused the market to slide a few weeks back because that meant rate hikes wouldn't stop.
So if you reverse that logic, if everyone started getting unemployed then the rate hikes would stop. Like I know it isn't that simple, but I can see where someone would come up with that idea.

And?
Hollywood does this with scripts and writers too.
They are paid. What's the issue?

I wonder who the hell is going to buy those spaces now? Would be nice to see some repurposed for more affordable living in the city.

Rolls-Royce makes more than fancy cars, like Jet engines etc.

Not at all. Space is a pretty perfect application for nuclear because theres no environment to pollute.

Exactly, with all the mr beast impersonation scams it went from the comment section to now full video ads and results ads, reporting dose nothing because they’re there months later, it’s a cash grab on YouTube, it’s obvious.

They’re accepting all scam ads, good on the ftc, may not be enough.
YouTube is blatantly allowing Mr beast impersonation offering free cash for anyone clicking on this video ad. Reporting it dose absolutely nothing, they even say they can’t tell you if the ad violated the rules and they took action. You know they don’t take action because the video appears again and again for months.

typically nasa and other nations' space agencies use nuclear batteries, deriving electricity from decaying fissal material...
a reactor would provide long term electricity, but it will be much more dangerous than batteries.
terrestrial reactors rely on water for cooling and power generation through conversion to steam... which probably isn't going to work on the moon.
this might just be a puff project to line the pockets of the lowest bidder.

No harm. Ignore the people who are giving you shit.
Back to fun space facts, have you ever heard of time dilation? If you were to accelerate to an insane speed in order to reach another planet, you would be perceiving time at a slower rate than the rest of us. There is a scifi book where soldiers go across the galaxy, fighta brief war, then return to an earth that has seen centuries pass during their trip.
Space is expanding at an ever increasing speed. At some point, we may not be able to see other galaxies as the space between galaxies is expanding faster than the light can travel to reach us.
